Need help , grows dont get me high :(

Well, it's not really the plant count. That is pretty irrelevant. It's the canopy that is important, and if you don't have enough light for the canopy you are trying to grow then you need more.

I can grow one plant or 20, it's the same canopy in the end. With high output LED's, you need 30-35 watts/sq foot. For HID, it's more like 50-55 watts/sq foot.

This is absolutely accurate. I wasn't really saying the tent was too small for 4 plants because of the light, moreso that for a new grower one plant would be much easier in that space. Easier to maintain good air movement, easier to water etc. I'm definitely of the opinion new growers should keep it simple. Especially with auto's where you have less control over the size of the plant.

Harvesting to early and not enough light
I don't care what the breeder says it takes longer and it takes even longer when you don't have enough light
You wanna grow better weed then go with 1 plant under that 150 not four

couldn’t agree more
I’m running 2 under my 600w HPS

only the bigger plant had like 15% white pistils the others were like 95% orange , i also dont understand why they took 15 weeks to reach that point and the probably were not mature i didnt know weak light could make the trychomes mature slower

15% white pistils is too soon.

Think of it like filling a bucket with water. The lower the flow (the less the light) the longer it takes to fill the bucket (the longer it takes for your plants to grow and develop).
 
Also remember different strains react differently from person to person.
I’m smoking purple romulan from next gen seeds. This was my last grow. It’s a kick in the head to me and most. But my one friend said he didn’t reallly get high? I was baffled. But it’s a testament to the fact different canabinoids react differently from person to person.
Keep experimenting and you’ll find your perfect mate!
 
turn your unwanted smoke into edibles. Make infused butter or coconut oil and use it to make baked good or saulve. I’ve had weed that was mild smoke turn into a heavy hitter when eaten.
I grew a blim burn mamba negra CBD that tasted great when smoked but at 5%thc and 5% CBD only gave a clear head feeling with no real high. Until I turned it into infused butter. When eaten I was woken up in the middle of the night with that I’m way too high feeling! I’ve never ingested it again and use it for topical only.
Might be a good way to see if you can get something from your hard work

15% pistils means you had weeks to go before harvesting
First they change color then they recede, then you are in the harvest window

You harvested too early. Trichomes are just one measure but not the only one. I see many people wanting to cut plants that are nothing but white pistils and obviously not done. They find an amber trichome somewhere and use that as their guide. The trichome method should be the final method to judge ripeness not the first. Don't even bother with looking at trichomes until the pistils have turned color and started shrinking back into the calyx's.

Do you like to harvest after the calyx have shrunken?

Yes. Sometimes I'll harvest a little sooner if I have plants in my veg tent that are getting too big but I don't harvest with white pistils. Except for an Old Timers Haze I grew recently and had been flowering for twenty weeks and was still shooting out new pistils here and there.

Just putting this out there, but how were your temps? Were they sitting on cold concrete? Had some plants this winter that flowered for three months because I didn't realize the soil was getting down to 7*C at night even though the air temp was 18. Looked great, had no potency.
 
We talked about this in another thread. Run that thing until you run out of reasons NOT to chop it. Then it’s time

i only had problems with high humidity not with temperatures, i had my soil wet for 15 days , i know its no good so i got a dehumidifier and solved the problem
 
Should i try to transform it into edibles or hash ? there s lots of learning and more expenses with buying materials to do it , i mean , this weed doesnt even gives me a buzz ,will it do something in hash form or edibles , i dont want more hard work / expenses for nothing , i think the best i did was posting on this forum and went to a high potency strain that im germinating right now , og kush from dinafem, although i was so in love with lsd from barneys great quantity without training , anyone tried the og kush and lsd ?* '
 
Like others said, unfortunately you pulled it too soon in flowering, I'd suggest not pulling until the flower trichomes are about 50% amber. You'll no doubt still pull at 35%, because anticipation, but I think there'll be a notable improvement.

If you do edibles, make sure to decarb it!
